New Features For SSL's Nucleus

DAW control profiles for Ableton Live and Reason plus additional support for OS X Lion and 64-bit for Mac 23/12/11

Solid State Logic has released new features for its Nucleus control surface.
Nucleus users can now download dedicated DAW control profiles for Ableton Live and Propellerhead Reason (in addition to existing profiles for Pro Tools, Logic and Cubase/Nuendo and any other DAW applications that support MCU or HUI).
OS X Lion is now fully supported for Nucleus, with a revised Java based Console Browser. The Nucleus soundcard now also supports 64-bit for Mac users.
Sam Counihan, International Sales Manager at Ableton AG told Sonic State "We're long time fans of Solid State Logic – a top-of-the-line name for mixing desks, interfaces and other audio hardware. We're therefore pleased to announce a new Ableton Live template from our friends at SSL, for their Nucleus control console. This new template tightly connects the feature sets of both the Nucleus and Ableton Live. Live's unique and dynamic workflow is brought to life through the Nucleus' tactile work surface, and is complimented by the console's high-end audio interface - featuring the same SuperAnalogue technology as found in the company's flagship Duality and AWS consoles. In other words, bring a laptop with Ableton Live to any studio with an SSL rig (you'll find them in the best studios out there), and you're good to go..."
